WILL PARDON HIM.
4 Governor Says DestroyeTs ONfe-
male virtue Ought to be Killed.


CHICAGO, February 22.-A special
from New Orleans says The Staying OF
John c. Kirkpatrick in this city some
months ago by Dr. I. $. Ford, lead
ing physician of Shreveport, La, for
the alleged seduction of his (Fords)
wife: the arraignment of his slayer, his
plea of guilty of manslaughter, and his
sentence to fifteen years imprisonment,
have all followed in regular order.
Since that time petitions have been nu-
merously signed asking that DIR. Ford
be pardoned. The people OF Grand
Cave sent to Governor McEnery petl-
tion for the pardon of Ford, to which
the signatures of Il number OF ladies
were attached. Upon its reception
Governor McEnery addressed a reply
TO the ladies, in which he says: 81
assure you when the application
reaches me Will promptly grant the
pardon. Had the power to do so he
would have been pardoned before con
yiction. | have followed the noble
precedent made (and l hope it will al
ways be followed by Governor Low
rev, of Mississippi. / have not, except
m cases of this kind, given any express
sion in advance in any matter that may
come before the Pardoning Board. II
is the unwritten law of the land. 1t is
imperative III its mandate that the de-
stroyer of female virtue, OF home and
happiness. shall forfeit his liie."
in explanation of Governor McEn-
erv's reply. it is proper to state tha'
before the Executive can issue a pardon
the application must be approved by
majority of the Board OF Pardons,
composed of the trial-iudge, Lieuten
ant Governor, and Attorney-General.

The Academy.

Mugs Landing was exhibited at
the Academy yesterday before large
audiences by Miss Frances Bishop and
her company. The favorable impress
sion made by the troupe the day before
was sustained. Miss Bishop is pretty
and pleasing, and acts naturally and
sings and dances well, and her support
is good. The scene of the prologue OF
the play-the wrecker's home at Nam
tucket during the storm-is well ar
ranged. Miss Bishop. as Little Mnggs,
and Mr.. Mcdowell, as the Land Agent,
were frequently applauded.
"Muggs' Landing" will be repeated
to-day, and "Dot" will be played to-
night.

The MERRY War

The third presentation OF merry
War" at the Grand Opera-hOuse last
night by our amateurs, would have been
greeted with full house had not the
rain descended so necessarily all the
afternoon and night. Some hundred or
two braved the elements, however, for
the sake of their young friends, and
were treated to fine rendition OF this
pleasing opera. The singers never
sang better, and threw their
best efforts into their parts. The
chorus was fine, the orchestra excellent
ly mOdulated and the soloists received
many tokens OF esteem and applause,
flowers not being spared to reward the
favorites. Prof. Morriss' "Umberto"
was much better rendered, both vOcslly
and dramatically, than on the first pre-
sentation, while Miss Beokie Wefing, as
"Artemisia," made very pleas
ing impression. The lady has q
voice quite strong enough for the
part, and possesses great grace
and dramatic talent. The drill OF her
Amazon guards, which was beautifully
directed by her, sword In hand, was q
revelation to the audience, who encored
and applsuded rspturously the military
movements which the young ladies exc
cuted to music, with rare precision and
time. Miss MoAllister, as "Violetts,"
and Marie Hernandez, as ELSA" need
no more praise. Their talents are well
known.
